Math Problem Statement
Given the Venn diagram below with universal set U and sets A and B with their corresponding elements, what are the elements of A'?
Solution
The problem asks for the elements of (the complement of set A) based on the given Venn diagram with the universal set , and sets and .
From the Venn diagram, the elements of each set are:
- Set contains:
- Set contains:
- The universal set contains all the elements in both and , and possibly more outside:
Finding (the complement of set ):
The complement consists of all elements in the universal set that are not in set . So, we need to exclude the elements from .
Thus, the elements of are:
Comparing to the multiple-choice options:
- The closest option is , which matches the elements of excluding 5, since 5 is part of .
Hence, the correct answer is:
